Poll: Buck takes slim lead in Senate race

Weld District Attorney Ken Buck has taken a lead over Democratic incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Wednesday.

The poll shows Republican Buck leading 51 percent to 43 percent. Two weeks ago, Buck and Bennet were locked in statistical tie in the Rasmussen Reports survey. At that time, Buck lead 49 percent to 45 percent, which was within the 4 percent margin of error.

The poll released Wednesday marks the first time Buck’s support has been more than 50 percent, according to Rasmussen Reports.

The survey of 750 likely voters in Colorado was conducted by telephone on Monday. It has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
